Assembly:
-
Slice the bread: Cut the bread in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom for your sandwich.
-
Layer the meats: Start with a layer of Genoa salami, then add ham, mortadella, and capicola in that order.
-
Add cheese: Layer provolone and mozzarella cheese on top of the meats.
-
Add the olive salad: Generously spread the olive salad mixture over the top layer of cheese, ensuring that it soaks into the bread.
-
Press and serve: Once all the ingredients are layered, press the top of the bread down to compact the sandwich and let it sit for a few minutes. This helps meld the flavors together.
Serving:
It’s best to let the sandwich sit for a while so that all the flavors can meld together. Some people even wrap the sandwich tightly and refrigerate it for a couple of hours before serving. You can cut it into wedges and serve it as a big, flavorful meal for several people.
